This dual-edge side-light NeoPixel strip features LEDs on both the top and bottom of the flexible PCB, producing an even glow from both sides. With 60 LED pairs per metre (120 LEDs total), both LEDs in each segment display the same colour simultaneously, making it ideal for edge-lighting where the strip is visible from multiple angles.
The strip is built on a flexible white PCB with weather-resistant sheathing and can be cut at the marked halfway point. JST SM 3-pin connectors on both ends allow easy daisy-chaining or direct wiring. It uses the standard WS281x (NeoPixel) protocol on a single data line.
Key Features

- Individually Addressable – Standard NeoPixel (WS281x) protocol, 60 addressable segments per metre
- Flexible White PCB – Curves around shapes and corners, with weather-resistant sheathing
- Cuttable – Cut at the marked line with wire cutters; solder to 0.1″ copper pads to extend
- JST SM Connectors – 3-pin connectors on both ends for easy hookup
Specifications

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- CircuitPython
- A beginner-friendly version of Python designed to run directly on microcontroller boards. If a product supports CircuitPython, you can often program it by copying code files onto the board rather than setting up a more complex toolchain.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- NeoPixel
- A type of addressable LED system where colour data is sent along a single digital data line from one LED or controller to the next. Compatibility matters because the timing and signal format must match for the lights or driver board to respond correctly.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
